manual but interesting: - I liked some descriptions of trees, it is essential to recognize when we want to make fire and there is nothing. - Node technical deserved further information and are not exploitable without help. - That come to the guidance of homeopathy in this book? instead of advocating oil milleperthuis to put in glass bottles (the stuff that not break ...!) we completely forget the pods betadine (or equivalent) that are much more effective to disinfect wounds and accelerate healing. Ditto for paracetamol to be you of great help in case of muscle pain or early sunstroke. - The aspivenom recommended in the book when snake bite is not by rescuers (the aspivenom is not effective because the venom is released too deeply). IN the book, it is advisable to cool the wound while the poison is destroyed by the heat ... -idem for advice in case of burns. All first aid manuals indicates that nothing should be put on a burn and run under cold water, not 3 minutes as described but a dozen see. Forget the vinegar and honey (unless you want to make a sauce to eat the victim;)). A painkiller far more effectively soothe the pain and avoid the risk of infection. - A glossary would be helpful to accompany the plant descriptions (Do you know what "surrenders" of a daisy I right?).
these are details in relation to the big downside of this manual: Poisonous mushrooms. No drawing or photograph no support descriptions. And worst of all, the equestrian tricholome described as edible when it is classified for 10 years in the category of toxic mushrooms. (Cases of acute rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscle cells) including several fatal).
So much for everything else, this book is very interesting, but know to step back. In "survival", one of the most important elements is effective: it makes no political or proselytizing ... And you can even stay in a "soft" approach!
